China's Tense Relations with EU: A Look at Recent Developments.
TL;DR Summary
Chinese diplomats have criticized European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's speech on China, calling it a "misrepresentation" of Chinese policies. In her speech, von der Leyen called on Europe to be "bolder" on China and hinted that the EU could reassess the Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI) in light of its wider China strategy. The trade deal was clinched in 2020 but stalled by the European Parliament after some MEPs were hit by sanctions from Beijing. Von der Leyen is set to travel to Beijing with French President Macron next week.
